That is the kind of shit you regularly hear in the Wrigley bleachers. They tend to specialize in using juvenile humor to taunt the opposition, particularly the OFers because they are within earshot. Sometimes they come up with some real gems.

ATLANTA — The Phillies lost, 2-1, to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
The big news from this game, however, was that Vince Velasquez might have made his last start with the Phillies. A major league source told CSNPhilly.com that the Phillies and Texas Rangers are “pretty deep” in trade discussions involving Velasquez. The Rangers, the source said, also have some interest in Jeremy Hellickson, who pitches for the Phillies on Saturday night, but he appears to be a secondary target (see story).
It would take top talent to get Velasquez, a 24-year-old right-hander with a power arm. The Phillies acquired him over the winter from Houston as the centerpiece in the deal that sent Ken Giles to the Astros.
The Rangers had several scouts at the game, including Scott Littlefield, one of their top talent evaluators.
The Rangers’ interest in Velasquez was reported earlier in the week by Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

Think it has cooled down today. Last I saw was they didnt think a deal was going to get done but that was this morning. Also, dont know if that meant a deal getting done today or at all.

loving what the yankees are doing. Anyone who thought that team was going somewhere this season is out of their mind. I loved Andrew Miller, but the prospects they got for him are going to pay huge dividends in 3-4 years. Chapman wasn't resigning so that deal was genius. We finally have a top 5 farm system - new Yankees system is finally here

Heard it may have to do something with the option year on Clevelands part. Maybe they get it worked out but if not that kind of sucks for them. Wonder if they would have traded for Miller if they didnt get Lucroy?

Very happy with Bruce...quietly having a great year. I am not sold on the Mets being out on Lucroy...D'Arnaud, Dom Smith, and another guy not named Amed Rosario.
